The boys, their teachers, and schluchim (Chabad emissaries) enjoyed a game walk, visiting an animal rehabilitation centre, hiking, rock jumping, and seeing some top South African natural sites like G-d’s Window, the Three Rondavels, and Bourke’s Luck Potholes.

At Swadini Resort at the canyon, they bonded over bonfires, learning sessions, meaningful tefilah (prayer) and Shabbat services, entertainment, swimming, games, and sport.

In addition to being a lot of fun, the Shabbaton enabled the children to forge stronger relationships with each other, their teachers, and their Judaism.
